How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Shake & Rattle Sensory Rollers encourage children to engage in sensory exploration through sound and movement. As children manipulate the shakers, they can observe the movement of the beads and buttons, fostering curiosity and inquiry as they experiment with different ways to roll and shake the rollers.

Building language, imagination, and social skills
These sensory rollers can serve as a tool for children to engage in cooperative play, enhancing their social interactions. As children share the shakers and create sounds together, they have opportunities to develop their language skills by describing their experiences and expressing their ideas during play.
